Mission: Orbiter

Some upgrades I'd propose:
1. Upgradeable retro boosters to stop drifting.
2. Multiple shots. Maybe different, switchable weapons instead. A shotgun, for instance.
3. A mineral magnet that really makes a difference. Upgradeable too.

As the author seems to be keeping a close eye on the comments, allow me to offer some constructive criticism - perhaps some of the below is worth looking into:

- Some updates seem to be counter-productive: speed (as mentioned before) and accuracy (less spread = less surface of mining probe covered).
- The mineral magnet has a very short range and makes the minerals move so slowly that it hardly makes any difference. For an item so expensive, it is pretty lousy ;-) Perhaps the magnet could be made to move SMALLER minerals faster?
- A mute button for the music would be nice. Alternatively, it might be worth considering using different, less monotonous music. Finding such music should be easy enough...
- Although mouse aiming is all the craze nowadays, it seems to me that this game would benefit from the W/S = forward/backward and A/D = turn control scheme. That may be a bit to drastic a change, though.

All-in-all, I like this game, but I think it has a lot more potential.

The floaty movement of the orb makes it frustrating to dodge the asteroids. Upgrading speed only makes it harder to control. I'd suggest an upgrade that decreases the orb's floaty movement.

it could use different difficulties, you know having a larger and smaller amount of lives when you start, asteroids giving you more and less experience that sort of thing, but it was pretty cool on its own. It kept my interest for a few tries good job dude.

Fun little game. I liked some of your upgrades, as they were not the normal type of upgrades
